hey guys i got my first plant here at 65 days into flower or 9weeks and 2 days. To me shes looking sweet. im excited to see the finished product. id say that she has about 40% orange pistils, and the trichs are pretty much all cloudy but i have a 60-100x microscope and i find it EXTREMELY hard to check trichs, so i cant be 100% on that. most of the leaves are yellowing with some totally dead but wont come off with a small tug so i leave them. so how do i go about harvesting?? is there something to be done beforehand??? im planning on doing it at like 10 weeks.

Take a look at this it might help you judge when she's done http://forum.grasscity.com/harvesting-processing-marijuana/666373-guide-when-harvest.html
Thanks guys I'll have to take a closer look at that guide, and does any1 know how to take a pic of the trichs through the scope or do you guys use high powered cams
i have a 60x also i harvest when most a cloudy with a touch of clear trichs. but hard to tell from pics as stated previously
Cut a piece of the edge of a leaf on 1 of your buds and put it on a table. Than set you microscope down on top of it and adjust your clarity. This should make it easier to look at trichs.
^^^ bro I was thinking about doing that but wasn't sure if it would be okay. Is it gonna hurt her or will it be cool??
lol...just cut a very small corner of a leaf. pick 1 that looks very stickey or crystallie...to baked cant explain but you know what i mean. anyways cutting a small section of a leaf wont hurt your plant any just dont do it a million times or n e thing.
